The Vegas Golden Knights added another thrilling chapter to their season with a dramatic 5-3 comeback victory over the Chicago Blackhawks last night. After trailing heading into the final period, Vegas erupted with three goals in a span of minutes, flipping the script and securing their fifth straight win.
Golden Knights' Third-Period Barrage
Chicago held a 3-2 lead heading into the third, but the Golden Knights wasted no time shifting the momentum.
Victor Olofsson netted his second goal of the game early in the third, leveling the score.
Pavel Dorofeyev capitalized on a power play, delivering a decisive one-timer from the right circle with just over three minutes remaining, giving Vegas the lead.
Brett Howden sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the closing seconds.
Playoff Positioning: The Final 10-Game Push
With 10 games left in the regular season, the Golden Knights (44-20-8, 96 points) sit atop the Pacific Division, holding a seven-point lead over the second-place Los Angeles Kings. Their current form and standings position them favorably for the playoffs, but maintaining momentum is crucial to secure home-ice advantage in the postseason.
